I recalled I had some frozen Detroit style dough balls in the freezer that had been there awhile. I took the 3 dough balls out of the freezer and put them in the fridge. I modified the recipe some, used butter to grease the pan, added raisins and decided to use an icing topping. My piping bag broke when I first was applying the icing. I then spread the icing with a knife.

That Cinnamon Swirl pizza was very light and moist. My granddaughter, great-granddaughter and I each had a slice. We thought it was very good. The icing topping has now harden some more.

Hot Damned Norma!!!! That looks mouth watering Did you give those raisins a rum, brandy or bourbon soak?? Will be taking your swirl for a whirl soon!

Jon,

Thanks! I did not give those raisins a rum, brandy or bourbon soak. That is a great idea! I can imagine a NY style dough or other doughs might work well for a Cinnamon Swirl Pizza. I baked at about 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes because the ropes I rolled were larger. I wonder how the Cinnamon Swirl Pizza would work in my deck oven.

I have used the quick way of mixing a basic icing taught to me by my Mother for cakes and cupcakes.. I have learned about how much confectioners sugar, butter, vanilla and milk to add. I just mix the basic ingredients with a mixer, and if a little more confectioners sugar/or milk is needed I then add a little more.

Thanks! It tastes just about like a Cinnabon. It held up well until the next day just sitting out. When microwaving it becomes better. My daughter asked me if I would make a Cinnamon Swirl Pizza tomorrow for her to take into work on Monday. Since I only have one more frozen Detroit style dough I would have to mix more dough. I have to think about doing that.

Beautiful! My wife, Cheryl, says it looks better as a cinnamon bun, rather than pizza. Course she is not a pizza head. She does love to eat it tho.

Mark,

If you ever decide to try one let us know what your wife says. She might be begging you to make a cinnamon swirl “whatever” you call it with pizza dough. Wait, you mean your wife isn't a pizza head like you?
